And for a good reason. Guys who grow up playing FIBA rules (like Jokic did) don't have this move, since it's a traveling violation. Honestly, more people should be doing this, it's illegal in FIBA for a reason

it used to be illegal in the FIBA rules, but they changed it before this season. Throwing it off the backboard counted as a dribble, so it would only allow this move to be legal if the player has not dribble before. It was weird, but as far as i know it hasn't really been enforced

This is the only part of what you wrote that is relevant. It's trivially easy for any NBA players to throw it off the backboard and score without traveling. The hard part is that if you are near the paint without your dribble, most of the time there is someone between you and the hoop who can just box you out. This move isn't applicable very often.

It’s literally just throwing a ball against a wall and catching it, but you’re describing it like it’s advanced jiu jitsu lol. I’m pretty sure players don’t do it simply because it’s such a departure from typical basketball maneuvers, and nobody’s really pioneered it in a systematic way.

The thing that gets me the most is that you can tell this was his plan before he even faked the handoff. The second the defense tried to go over he just went straight for it. Most of the time I’ve seen this done it’s almost decided in midair or at the last second, but nope, right out the gates for Jokic.

If he has, say a bit more athletic body, i think we might have a glimpse of what Wilt Chamberlain 2.0 looks like.

I have taken to calling him Nikola "First since Wilt" Jokic because he always has some mind blowing night or stat and it looks like it is unparalleled in NBA history, but no, just first since Wilt. All the more impressive that Jokic can do it without the dominating athleticism. It shows how dominant his mind is.
